The Unexpected Heir Chapter 133: Fake apology.
Mr Chase's POV(Bruce's Father):I called the private investigator to monitor my wife's movement and I also told him to look into what my wife has been doing for the past month.When I returned home that evening, the house was quiet and my wife was in our room.I really hope that she went to meet her lawyer.I want my private investigator to tell me who her lawyer is, so that I will know what to do and how to approach the lawyer.My wife has already messed up almost everything I did in my life. I won't let her ruin the company that I have built up, just because she wanted to get a divorce for her own selfish gain.That woman never thinks of anyone but herself, I think Philip has gotten to know that too, that's why he said these awful words to her this morning.She needed to hear those words ,so she would know that her own son dislikes her.I was sitting in the bed in our room when the door opened and she walked in.She saw me, she frowned and rolled her eyes and she proceeded to go to
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 134: Mr. Caleb D. Black.
Bruce's POV:The private investigator that was investigating the cause of Dora's death.I called him this evening and told me he still had no clue as to who caused her death.All evidence was wiped out and he could not find anything, no matter how hard he searched.I got annoyed with him and asked him if I was paying him to go to the beach and have fun and he didn't reply."Hey! I hope you know it's been more than six months and you haven't even given me something tangible to work with, you haven't mentioned one name and you still get paid." I hissed at him and he sighed.Apart from Ivan and Erick that I have sent sometimes to find clues on who caused the death of Dora, I also hired a private investigator that his lips are sealed shut in case he got caught.He would be stupid if he actually mentioned my name."Sir , I believe in working with dignity that's why I don't want to lie to you and tell you I have a clue, when I have none." He responded and I sighed.I know he's upright and d
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 135: It started.
Bruce's POV: I seemed to now understand why no one wanted to tell me who it was. Attacking that man will be playing with fire, I know I will get burnt in the end but I still wanted justice for Dora. "I know this might get bad, but I have to do it for peace of mind." I told Mr Dominic. "From what I gathered his only son was the one behind the wheels of the car that killed your late wife." He added and another bomb was dropped on my head. So his only son was the one I was looking for, this will get messy,he won't let this go without a fight. I nodded in understanding. "I understand what you are telling me, but I will still do what is right." I told him and he nodded in understanding. "Do you have any evidence of your claim?" I asked Mr Dominic and he nodded. "Before I went into a coma , I gave it to someone for safekeeping , in case anything happens to me,it will be given to you, the CCTV footage from that day will get here soon." He replied and I nodded in understanding. Mr Do
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 136: Is this payback?

The Unexpected Heir Chapter 137: Who are you?
Bruce's POV:I stared at the message on my screen and I could not figure out who sent me this type of message.The only person I had in mind was Mr Caleb D Black.But he hasn't come to visit me in the office ,since all this happened.The only thing he has done is ask my secretary to send me a message or call my office line.Seriously, I expected that I wasn't that bothered by it, I was just wondering where exactly it was.I dropped back my phone and continued to work.In the evening when I was done with work and was leaving the company building, there was still a crowd of reporters waiting for me at the entrance of the company building to give a statement about my late wife's case.I ignored their questions and my bodyguards guided me to my car and my driver drove off, with my bodyguard's car coming behind us.I know it might start getting harder for me to go to work each day with this happening.I will try and see if I can work from home for at least a week to relax and get away from
The Unexpected Heir Chapter 138: I am your mother.
Bruce's POV:She looked straight into my eyes and she could see I was obviously confused by what she was saying."I didn't introduce myself to you, so you won't know, I am your mother." Lola announced as I scoffed as I gulped."That's... That's not possible. How can you be my mum?" I asked her in a panic."It's up to you if you believe it or not ,but nothing changes the fact that I am your mother." She told me.I did not know what to say as I just stared at her, I heard her words ,but I was still speechless."I just hope you are glad that you got back at me by getting my son arrested, I guess you were pained that he got love and attention while you got none." She scoffed and shook her head.I was still trying to comprehend her words, but she was just talking as if the news she just gave me wasn't a big deal."You should be given an award as the best big brother of the year for getting your younger brother arrested." She told me."That's enough!" I yelled in anger I don't know if what

**Sixteen years later** Bruce's POV: I couldn't hear Lisa,my first child and mother arguing about something and then she rushed downstairs to stand where I sat with Mr Dominic discussing what to do about my Father who was again asking for help. It never gets old. He just begs for who will give him money these days and I never help him. "Dad, Mom and I, who is more beautiful?" Lisa's velvety voice made me stare at her, as an unwavering smile adored her baby face. I saw Roxy,her mom, walking downstairs. I think she was listening to hear what I would say because she came to sit beside me. "Lisa, baby, why are you asking that?" I asked her and she pouted and folded her arms. "Mommy says she's prettier than me, so who do you think is prettier?" Lisa asked with a raised eyebrow. I think she knows what I was going to say because she was glaring at me. "Darling you and your mum are equally beautiful." I replied, because I don't want to get in some kind of trouble. "I know you never
